Mon premier thread de colléction

[DialATune]

Well it’s WTF o’clock on a day off, it must be an autoshite collection. Off to the ends of the earth for a car which, if I looked longer/harder, I could probably find within 10 miles of my house. But where’s the romance in that!

so, train number 1, with some other sleepy-eyed types who presumably are off to collect a 13 year old mondeo or something....

Good luck

[Mally]

Where did one begin the journey?

Do not say 'train station'.

[gadgetgricey]

J'espere que vous avez un bon voyage.

Le nombre de caca?

[Sudsprint]

Type 35?

[DialATune]

The journey began in Ipswich, home of the tractor boys dontcha know. 

Now in london’s Famous London, home of extinction rebellion and stinky toilets. As I can think of no other reason to be using public transport this early on a Saturday, presumably a lot of £300 Micras and the like are getting collected today!

 

[sutty2006]

Chodspeed and may you never regret the early wake up in search for something disappointing. 

[barefoot]

Am I the first to pick on the French words in the title?

I'll put a silly quid on it being a Renault 14TS in gold with a beige interior.

[DialATune]

I like your thinking, @barefoot. That is a vehicle that would actually justify such a ridiculous journey. If you have a line on such a beast let us know!

it turns out London to Manchester is a fucking long way, so I’m letting the train take the strain again. I shouldn’t complain though - the guy on the other side of the aisle is heading to Aberdeen to pick up a Rover 45, and the guard has to spend all tomorrow going to Dawlish to collect the Kia Picanto he ‘won’ for £160 on eBay...

[bangernomics]

Manchester eh, if you have time and like a lunchtime curry nip into “this n that”.

[DialATune]

Manchester, home of the Beatles and Stan Boardman. Come on you reds!!!

no time for a curry though, I’m (only just) catching the last train for today. Phew, that connection was close!

[DialATune]

Well it’s buses now. As a PSV driver of 15 years so far, I f’ing hate getting on buses on a rest day. But such is my commitment to the ‘shite...

not much further!

What are you on, the fucking Autoshite Express?

[DialATune]

Ah, Crosby Stills and Nash

[DSdriver]

Is this the scenic route to France?

[DialATune]

Papa?

Ooh, hello... do those dark headlights mean it’s a 182?  Golly.

Well done anyway.  After the briefest of hoons in 320Touring’s phase 1 172 green special I can really, really see the appeal of these.  Ace.

It's just the posh headlamps on a 172. This was the one I drove to Glasgow from Birmingham with the buggered gearbox.

 

Easily the fastest one I have owned, and. Bit fruity sounding too.

 

Most excellent

The ones that fade? Or the ones that fade and craze? 

[DSdriver]

<lkjsetright mode> headlamp lenses that become milky are polycarbonate and those that craze are acrylic. Use a UV protective wax (eg Farecla) from new to prevent which is useless news when buying shite.

Home! Just under 250 miles non-stop and no issues. The old girl still has some go in her. Thanks to @sporty-shite for a smooth transaction. I intend to have some fun with this thing

Yeah... I was too busy pissing about with the controls and went wrong somewhere...

thank god for sat-nag!

[Supernaut]

Aha! Think I once had a brief try of this at a scotoshite meet.
